Why would you use sterile gloves and technique during suctioning?
To prevent contamination and infection control measures as you are entering in a direct line to the lungs.
To ensure the suction device works effectively without any obstruction.
To maintain a sterile environment for the patient during any procedure.
To reduce the need for additional cleaning after the procedure.
Venturi Mask give what rate and Liter limits for precise FiO2 delivery; for COPD?
2-6 Liters 21-40% FiO2
4-10 Liters 25-55% FiO2
6-12 Liters 30-60% FiO2
8-15 Liters 35-70% FiO2
Max suction time
5 seconds to prevent hypoxia.
10 seconds to prevent hypoxia.
15 seconds to prevent hypoxia.
20 seconds to prevent hypoxia.
Simple face mask Flow Rate and Fi02
3-5 L gives 30-40% Fi02
5-8 L gives 35-55% Fi02
8-10 L gives 50-70% Fi02
1-2 L gives 21-25% Fi02
Oxymizer flow rate
1–4 L/min Gives lower FiO2
1–6 L/min Gives standard FiO2
1–8 L/min Gives higher FiO2
1–10 L/min Gives maximum FiO2
What is Hypoxia?
Decreased O₂ in tissues/cells → reduced metabolism → possible cell death.
Increased O₂ in tissues/cells leading to enhanced metabolism.
A condition where there is an excess of carbon dioxide in the blood.
A state of normal oxygen levels in the body.
Tracheostomy Care requires
Constant humidification and sterile technique
Regular suctioning and non-sterile technique
Infrequent monitoring and humidification
Daily dressing changes without sterile technique
Transtracheal Catheter is inserted where inserted
between 1st and 2nd tracheal cartilage
between 2nd and 3rd tracheal cartilage
between 3rd and 4th tracheal cartilage
between 4th and 5th tracheal cartilage

Non-Rebreather Mask (NRB) bag
The reservoir bag must stay inflated
The mask should be used for long-term oxygen therapy
The bag should be deflated during use
The mask is only for patients with COPD
Nursing intervention for shortness of breath: Raise HOB.
Use High-Fowler’s position.
Use Low-Fowler’s position.
Encourage supine position.
Administer oxygen in a prone position.
Positioning for someone who is SOB
Raise head of bed (HOB) to High-Fowler’s (≥ 60°) to maximize lung expansion.
Place the patient in a supine position to promote comfort.
Encourage the patient to lie flat to ease breathing.
Position the patient in a lateral position to facilitate drainage.

The time of the procedure and the staff involved.
After suctioning or Trach care procedure: Remove gloves and then...
Perform hand hygiene.
Apply a new pair of gloves.
Check the patient's vital signs.
Document the procedure in the patient's chart.
Late sign of hypoxia related to color.
Cyanosis of lips and nail beds is a late sign.
Pallor of the skin and extremities.
Flushing of the face and neck.
